I wasn't sure before reading this if I was going to love it or hate it. Happily, I LOVED THIS BOOK. The academia was very relatable, the romance was both funny and adorable, the side characters (Holden, Malcolm, Anh) were fantastic, and the writing was solid. I truly enjoyed every moment of reading this. It was lovely and I'm so glad I finally read it! 5 stars.

The story between Adam and Olive is so cute! All the things they do and the reference that it’s turning into the stereotypical romance plot by the characters was so funny. I love their relationship

and the fact that they had met before when Olive was applying

. Even though there is an age gap it’s still quite cute. There was a quite graphic sex scene but it was kind of necessary to show the development of their relationship.

I like that there wasn’t really any point in the story when they hated each other but I kind of wished there was a bit more of it. Tom’s betrayal at the end was appalling the way he treated Olive and i’m a bit annoyed she didn’t realize she had taped it earlier

It was so cute and i loved it so much!

“Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated on a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.”

Yesterday I bought this book by accident after I added to my wishlist on Amazon once I saw it was going to become a movie and honestly I’m so glad I finally got around to reading it after so much talk online! And before I get into Love on the Brain.

The fake relationship trope gets me every time even though the ending is usually the same but god I was so excited when Adam and Olive had that moment together and I even sent screenshots to @sundayspages late last night cause I was so excited. I wasn’t expecting the
